At NDC Copenhagen 2025, Connell Sharp shares his team’s journey splitting a monolithic Stack Overflow feature into its own shiny microservice. They didn’t just carve it out—they moved the data to a fresh database, rewrote the UI as a microfrontend using a brand-new framework, and somehow pulled off a zero-downtime deployment.
Along the way they wrestled with eventual consistency, multi-tenancy headaches, nightmare circular references, CORS wrangling, and more. You’ll get the inside scoop on the decisions they made, the alternatives they kicked around, and the hard-earned lessons that came out of this microservice experiment.
